Put prime Shaq with Monta Ellis today and they'd win a Championship. That's how dominant Shaq was, you nubs are forgetting.

Shaq only needed another player scoring 20-25 per game to win, which most SG's can do easily

This is probably correct, the dude scored 40 points with 15+ rebounds routinely in the playoffs lol.

I wouldn't say Pau carried Kobe in '09/'10 though. He was a big part but Kobe was much more crucial to those titles.

And you are forgetting how dominant Timmy was and how cohesive and stifling the Spurs were during that era... Shaq wouldn't even win 1 title if he didnt have Kobe...Kobe was equally a problem for the Spurs in comparison to Shaq...Bruce Bowen would have shut down any guard during that era and today's without help aside for prime Kobe.

I wish they had kept Mike Brown a little while longer. Could have fired him in December. LOL
